version - 1.3
I have configured ipsec vpn from DC to oracle cloud.
Problem noticed :VTI interface going to admin down and once i reboot the router connection is stable for some time and again VTI is going down.
show vpn ispec status - 2 tunnel is showing up
I am establishing BGP over VTI interface.
Hi @Jayas , any corresponding logs that can help to identify the issue? What is the exact version and environment of your setup? Your current configuration also may help to check what can be wrong there.
I’m also getting the same issue. I let IPSec tunnel run for a week without touching it, after 3 days it was still up, but now I just came back to vti interface being down.

LMK if you need more info to debug this issue.
Hi @sandwichdoge ,
The vti interface’s status is down as the ipsec service was not running and below log shows that charon has crashed.
Jul 6 03:44:52 cxr charon: 00[DMN] SIGINT received, shutting down
May I know the VyOS version ?
To restore the service, try to restart the vpn service.
$ restart vpn
And can you try ikev2 instead of ikev1.

I created another tunnel connects to Azure Cloud VPN (same as last time), it’s been running for a week now since my previous post. I’m still using ikev1 but I’ll keep an eye out in case it crashes again. And yes, I checked pstree and the ipsec starter daemon was no longer running by the time it crashed.
Try to upgrade to the latest release
There have been many fixes in five months
And as said @a.srividya IKEv2 highly recommended
@sandwichdoge
Apart from what was already recommended by others, if the update will not fix the problem, please get the full log (show log, for example). We should see what is going on in the router before charon is stopped. It just cannot do this by itself, something sends the signal to the daemon and we need to know what and why.
It seems that updating to VyOS 1.4-rolling-202207170217 fixed the problem.
I have 2 tunnels, both are up for almost a month now.
